She has already surpassed 1,000 career points and will have a legitimate shot at getting near 3,000 points if she stays on her current track. She has the 'it' factor and is the most skilled player in the 2028 class. She has already received a lot of recruiting attention and that will only continue during this AAU season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1004420"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67ed6da78594b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rylee earned herself a seat on the 2nd-Team All-State squad. She averaged an impressive 18.2 points per game and 10.7 rebounds per game. It is incredibly impressive to average a double-double, especially as a freshman. She can score inside and out. That scoring ability, along with her size, is what has made her a sought after prospect in North Dakota. The scary part is she is just getting started.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["935273"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67ed6da7859b3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Violet was the only Class B freshman to earn a spot on the All-State Team, making the 2nd-Team this season. She is a very skilled player and someone who has a high ceiling as a prospect. She is really good off the bounce and can create scoring opportunities with the ball. I would like to see her continue to improve and play off the ball at times going forward, something I think she will excel at. She is an incredible player and will be making noise for years to come.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1004419"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67ed6da785a1c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Siera is another All-State player from the 2028 class. She is Kindred's best player and someone who will definitely get high-level D2 looks and potentially some D1 looks. She is a very savvy guard with great size at 5'10. She is an impressive ball-handler and has many different ways she can score the ball. She is just touching the surface of her potential and I look forward to seeing what she can do this offseason. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1000498"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67ed6da785a89"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Four Winds has found a superstar in [player_tooltip player_id='1000498' first='Suri' last='Gourd']. She is another freshman who has already eclipsed 1,000 career points. She is going to be a highly sought after recruit and will turn some heads the next couple of years. She is a good sized guard at 5'8 and has a silky-smooth shot. She can score from anywhere and has great athleticism. She plays on a great AAU team so she will definitely get collegiate looks going forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1053419"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67ed6da785af0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Everette plays the guard position and is surrounded by incredibly talented teammates. This is a great opportunity for a younger player to see what it takes to be great and to be pushed by her older teammates. Everette has the pieces to be a great high school player and will only continue to improve. The fact that she was able to find varsity playing time on a team as talented as Minot shows you how good she is. She can shoot the three and is an athletic 5'8. She will be a lot of fun to watch this offseason. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1126184"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67ed6da785b5b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Elli was the second leading scorer in the WDA averaging just a hair under 20 points per game. She also averaged an impressive 8.2 rebounds per game. She is a great sized forward with good footspeed. She can utilize her size to post up but isn't afraid to let it fly from deep, netting 45 three-point makes on the season. It was Minot North's first varsity season and Elli did a great job leading an inexperienced group. She is going to be a force in the WDA the next three seasons.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1056706"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67ed6da785bc6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Skye had a terrific season and helped Valley City to a Class A State Title. She earned herself a spot on the All-Tournament team due to her excellent play. She is a very steady player and someone who is going to be looked at because of how reliable she is on the floor. She is a strong athlete and has good size for a forward at 5'11. She plays the game the right way and is a key piece for the talented Hi-Liners.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1050540"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67ed6da785c31"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sierra is a great prospect because of her height and her athleticism. I really like how she moves on the floor and she has a great burst of speed and jumping ability. She is able to slither to the basket and will become a really good finisher as she gets stronger. She can stretch the floor and knock down the three and her consistency is going to improve rapidly. She has all of the pieces to one day find herself on the All-EDC team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

The 2028 Class might be the most talented group in the state. Here are 9 players that will dominate the headlines the next three seasons.
